I was referring to economic and educational levels-- although I think one "could" legitimately argue that todays Muslims are worse off than their pre-Islamic ancestors.

I wonder what they put on their outhouses?

In many cases, their address.

Don't forget the reason they consider the left hand unclean. For those unfamiliar with the Muslim world, toilet paper was not always part of their "culture".

What outhouses? They probably crap in the streets.

Some one told me a long time ago that those baggy pants were worn for a reason - supposed to last for seven days, I believe.

Who said that they were advanced enough to recognize that one doesn't crap in the living room?

I think you will appreciate this: Many years ago I worked for a small charter airline that each year had a contract to fly Muslim pilgrims from Mecca for Medina for the Hadj. We needed a better ops shack (shack is indeed the right term) so a 'new' one was put up some distance from the old one. Unfortunately, the workers refused to go and work at the new building because there weren't any 'facilities' at the new one. By 'facilities' they were referring to the large, unbelievably smelly pile of you-know-what right out in the open where they squatted whenever they needed to. Not only did they not even have 'outhouses' they didn't have the hygenic sense to know how incredibly disease-ridden a huge pile of crap can be. Complete morons then and now...
